136. Q&A Getting a Diagnosis for Your Child: 4 Ways it Can Help or Hurt


Listen Later

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most controversial topics in pediatric healthcare: the benefits and drawbacks of diagnosing children with conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders.

Dr. Tony presents a balanced perspective, outlining four significant benefits that diagnoses can provide to children and families, including access to essential services, insurance coverage, validation, and support groups. However, he also reveals four critical limitations of diagnostic labels that can actually hinder healing and create dependency on the medical system.

The episode challenges parents to think beyond traditional medical labels and consider a nervous system-focused, root cause approach to their children's health challenges. Dr. Tony emphasizes that children are "designed to heal" and advocates for maintaining hope while strategically using the benefits of diagnoses without falling into limiting mindsets.
